Today, on our 2008 Chevrolet HHR we're going to be installing the Hopkins tow bar wiring, part number HM56100. To begin our install, we're going to start at the rear of the vehicle. We need to open up the rear hatch and remove the access panels just behind the tail light assemblies. There's one on each side. I'm just going to use a flat blade screw driver, get behind it and pop it free. Behind the access panel, we can see the manufacturer's wiring as it comes into the tail light. Here from the converter box is our yellow wire connector that will ultimately plug in here behind the driver's side tail light assembly.

Then once you're finished with towing the vehicle and you're ready to drive it again, simply flip the switch back, which again sends power back to the fuse port through the bypass fuse. First we'll go ahead and locate the manufacturer's fuse box panel. The fuse box panel is located on the passenger side on the inside of the console. We'll go ahead and remove the panel by gently pulling out and releasing the fasteners underneath.

Today on this 2011 Chevrolet HHR we are going to install part number RM-154 from Roadmaster. This is their universal wiring kit. The first thing we need to do is go ahead and run the wires from front to rear with the 4-pole flat. And we are going to be using the big loop for that purpose. It has two ends on there. And we are just going to chop off one end and run that to the back. OK, we are going to start off by attaching our wire to the base plate of the vehicle itself. And we will allow for some extra length there in case we want to change over to a different type of connector. Go ahead and zip-tie that off and then work it towards the back of the vehicle. When we run it to the back we want to make sure that we stay away from anything moving like the suspension or anything that gets hot like the exhaust. Everybody will run there wire a different way, but those are the guidelines you want to go by. We need to run our wires to the inside of the body to get to our wire harness. So basically what we are going to do is this corner right here on the sheet metal is we are going to go ahead and drill a hole out. And we will install a grommet and then run our wires through the inside. 1:03

Today we will be installing Draw-Tite part number 24756, which also coincides with Hidden Hitch part number 60815. This will be going on a 2008 Chevy HHR.

The center threshold part we will pop that loose, we just pull up from the bottom and gently tugged at it and it came right out. Now we will start working on our electric connections. 00:37

Today on this 2007 Chevrolet HHR we are going to be installing part number 24756 from Draw-Tite. This also applies to Hidden Hitch part number 60815. The first thing that we are going to do is we are going to get our exhaust out of the way so we have more room to work. And to do that we are going to have to remove the three rear most hangers. It is probably best if you want to spray a little lubricant up in there to kind of help make it a little bit easier on getting your hangers off. You can just let your exhaust sit on your rear cross member. 0:34

Today we are going to install part number 118407 on our 2007 Chevy HHR. This install has everything kept on the inside of the vehicle. So we will open up the hatch and remove a few panels to get to it. The wiring cables we need to get to are behind this panel and also on the passenger side as well. We will also remove this carpet and paneling so that we can run the wires left and right. Also we must get to the spare tire cover. Then this panel that covers up the threshold you can simply pop off this panel and there is an identical one on the other side. Connecting the driver side first we will run the wires underneath the sheet metal and plastic. Pulling it up through the hole left by the paneling here. Then we can disconnect the wiring from the tail light and this T-Connector can fit. Then this end goes back onto the light socket. Then at the bottom here there is a ground stud we can use to attach our wire. Then we will take the other half of the harness and run it across the preexisting wiring harness and over past the battery. We will run the harness up and connect it to the tail light.

This is an install the 2006 HHR we will be using part number 24756. The first step to do is to lower the exhaust and we do that by taking off the rubber hangers on the front and back, and there is one hidden in the back. We just spray them down with WD-40 slide them off and we lower the exhaust. That gives us a little bit more working room right there. On this hitch we have to enlarge this hole to a half-inch and there is one on the opposite side we have to do the same thing with. Now we have to get the bolts inside of the frame. What we will do is we use the fish wire here. Put it through this hole, put it out the big hole, and then pull our hardware from the outside in and then back out this way. It kind of helps to slide it up on the wire first, and this threads in. And it comes out just like that. This hitch uses this hole too. What well do is slide your plate on, then your bolt, pop it through the hole, put the plate in, and pull it back on through.

Chevrolet HHR Questions and Answers

The trailer hitch I recommend is the Draw-Tite Class I # 24756 and Draw-Tite ball mount # 3594 because the top of the receiver to the ground is 10-1/4 inches and the ball mount will give you a 4-inch rise. As a result, giving you a 14-1/4 inch ground clearance and stay above the 13-1/2 inches. The weight will bring the clearance down a tad from the 14-1/4 inch clearance which will keep your trailer more level.

That depends on the size of the hose that is used to install your current oil cooler. If the line is the same as what comes with the # D15405 that you purchased all you would need is 2 sets of the # D13024 so that you could install the cooler inline with your current cooler.

Because a brake controller is not vehicle specific, you could use just about any controller you wish.
